Footsbarn's
35th Anniversary -- A Celebration of Theatre
La
Chaussee Takes Shape for the Festival
|
| August
3 -- Arrival of Napo, the premeire French tentmaster from Rheims
(early AM). The trip to nearby Vallon for the "Barnum"
tents, and a long ride to Volvic, on the edge of a string of
extinct volcanos. Chapiteau Napo was in place by the
time we returned. After Napo arrived there were no more Yurt
fiascos. |

Ton und Kirschen from Potsdam sets up their portable
amphitheatre in the courtyard. Old friends David Johnson and
Margaret Bieyre rejoin their old mates at Footsbarn. Pneumatic
animation Puca comes to life on the Midway. |
|
August 4, 5, 6 and 7 -- The first weekend, between
parades in Montluçon, Cosnes, and nearby Herrison, runs into
Monday, with further drives back and forth to Montluçon and
Vallon; Smaller "Barnum" tents put up on the grounds;
A real crazy drive beyond Volvic to the cathedral town of Claremont
for an electric piano; More fun in the sign shop; Distributing
signs, and Wallpapering the porta-potties with performance posters
-- a job I didn't know even existed. (Pictures SOON)
